M ACTIVE ERUPTION SINCE JUNE Mo Danger of Renewed Action Ap- preuended, but People are Advised Against Haste In doing There. Fort-de-France, Island of Martinique Ey Cable Dr. T. A. Jaggar, of Har vard University, representing the Uni ted States Geological Survey in the West Indies, arrived for the second time at Fort-de-Franee on June 24 and has since visited Mont Pelee twice. He has also made excursions to the south ern end of Martinique and to the warm sj.-ings of the interior of the island. Dr. Jaggar came directly from St. Vin cent As a result of recent examinations f the crater of Mont Pelee and explora tion cf the track of the devastating Wast which destroyed St. Pierre it ap pears that there is extraordinary sim- . ".arity between the eruptions of the Soufriere volcano of St. Vincent and Mont Pelee. The products are the same. Both are characterized by the absence of lava and the work of de struction, both to inanimate objects and to mankind, was accomplished In much the same way. The destructive effects of the erup tion in St. Vincent covered a much more extensive area, but the los3 of human life was much less. There has tV.tta ao active eruption of Mont Pelee of importance since June 6. A great cone of boulders and volcanic bombs heaped within the fissure from which the explosion came has grown In size since the middle of May, , when Dr. Jaggar first saw it. Occas ionally there r.re sudden slides of debris down this cone into the deep go-ire or trio ittylore Blanc.

Uoth have gradually become less active since and it is probable they will diminish in ac tivity, to Judgj by the present signs. ' In this opinion the French scientific commission, headed by Prof. Lacroix, of Paris, concurs. Dr. Jaggar is strongly oppos.-d, however to any re habiiuticn of the devastated slopes of the volcanoes until the respective governments of the islands are will ing to establish permanent experi ment statio.is to protect and warn the inhabitants.

FEARS FOR SAFETY. Claimed That German Emperor Might Be Attacked HE IS ASKED NOT TO VISIT POSEN It Is Thought, However, Tht the Emperor Will Decline to Change His Plans. Berlin, By Cable. Court Chamber lain Von Morawski, a Polish landed magnate, has appealed to Emperor William not to visit Posen during the army manoeuvres to be held in Sep tember, as His Majesty has planned to do. The chamberlain fears that some Polish fanatic might attempt to harm the Emperor. Racial feeling is described as at fever heat and sev eral Berlin journals take the view that It would be unwise for the Em peror to expose himsolf unnecessarily. It is scarcely likely that the Em peror will act upon Chamberlain Von Morawski's appeal, because His Ma jesty never permits himself to change his plans on account of the timidity of his advisers. He goes anywhere he thinks duty calls him; and, besides, it Is his purpose to declare the govern ment's Polish policy while in Polish territory and his giving up of per sonal supervision of the manouevres would be unprecedented. The Polish question is regarded as the most pregnant in the government's domestic policy. While no observer believes the Polish agitation can really amount to much ultimately, It is embarrassing the relations with Austria and Russia. The Poles In Gaiicla enjoy local self-government and press privileges which are not in vogue in Prussian Poland, and con tinual contrasts are made In the Aus trian press between the conditions existing Galicia and in the province of Posen that annoy this government and tend to weaken the Triple Alli ance. Indications are not wanting that Russia Is disposed to utilize the Polish passion by giving greater freedom to the Russian frontier a Prussian popu lation in sympathy wf-h Russia.

Paris, By Cable. A serious distur bance occurred Wednesday at 10:30 o'clock on the Terrance at Cafe de Musse de Cluny. The police cleared the cafe. Several persons were in jured and 25 arrests made. Some dis orderly meetings of Catholics were held during the course of the evening, resulting in scuffles and the making of arrests. The agitation provoked by the order of Prime Minister Combes to close the Congregationist schools recalls to some extent the scenes en acted when M. Ferry, then Premier, expelled the Jesuits in 18S0. Demon strations in favor of the nuns and the teaching friars are taking place in Parts and many places in the prov inces, where the pollco presented themselves at the schools and order ed that the institutions be closed. Up to the present, however, no serious Incident has been recorded. Accused of Robbery.

Big Champion of the Prize Ring Gets Beaten in Eighth Round. A BLOODY AND TERRIFIC COMBAT Both nen Put Up a Fair and Vigorous Battle For the Championship Both Satisfied. Ring-side, San Francisco, Special. After fighting a battle of eight rounds that was fraught with brilliant and courageous work, Robert Fitzsimmons Friday night night forfeited his last claim upon the heavy weight cham pionship. He was knocked to the floor by James Jeffries and counted out after he had so badly punished the chimpion that It was a foregone conclusion among the spectotors that the Cornish man must win. Bleeding from a num ber of gashes In the face, apparently weakening, and clearly unable to cope with Fitzsimmons' superior skill, Jeff ries delivered two lucky punches as Fitzsimmons paused in his fighting to speak to him, and turned the tide. The battle was brief, but noteworthy, and will live in pugilistic history. Fitzsim mons tried once to rise from the mat, but sat dxa again In helplessness and heard himself counted out, where but a moment before he had aparently all the better of it. "I will never fight again," said the battle-scarred veteran of the ring when he had sufficiently recovered to talk. "The fight was won fairly and to the best man belongs the laurels." "You are the most dangerous man alive," said Jeffries, in return, "and I consider myself lucky to have won when I did." Jeffries added: "I know Fitz had a cutting punch and would land it some time in the fight. He is certainly a wonder. He is the greatest fighter at his weight that ever lived. As old as he is, he is the shiftiest and cleverest, the hardest-hitting man I evenmet and I want to give him credit, al I know ill who saw it will, for the geat fight he put up. I havo no plans forVhe im mudiato Mali-.?." f Fitz said later that the blows that put him out were a left short arm jolt unde r the til s and a right to the jaw. e gone wnen 1 .:r.,'(,,T"nig. I injur, i.okig. i injured tnem on 1 dry w'!"j3 xing with Hank Griffin. toj ;.gut hand in particular was almost useless. I am confident now, even more so than ever, that in my first battle with Jeffries I was doped." Dr. L. C. Cox, who has been summon ed to attend tha fighter, made an exam ination of the defeated pugilist. He an nounced that Fitz's ribs were not broken, but that his left side was badly bruised, the muscles being so constrict- i River Coal and Transportation Coin ed as to cause the Cornishman great pany for beginning the transportation difficulty in breathing. Fitzsimmons had been fighting at a furious gait, cool and deliberate, and chopping the champion to pieces with the terrific rights and lefts that have made blm fanili;s. It was the draught horse and the racer from the t.ip the gong. When the men came ot to gc-ther Fitz. appeared rather worried, but upon the opening of the first round he assumed a cenfiderfte and fought with the deliberation of the general that he Is. s early as the second round Fitz. had Jeffries bleeding pro fuse'y from mouth and nose. Again and anain he landed oa his bulky op ponent, getting away In such a clever manner that brought down the house with cheers. It seemed indeed that Jeffries couM scarcely weather the gale. In the eighth round the end came and under a series of hot exchan ges Fitz. paused with his guard down and spoke to the champion. Tha lattr's reply cons!rt.:d of the two terrific blows that brought back to him the fleeing championship and forever removed the veteran Fitz. from the fistic arena. Fitz. took his dfewit with amazing good cheer. He walked to the centre of the ring and raising his hand addressed the multitude, saying: "The best man has won. Had i beaten Jeffries tonight I would have conceded him the cham pionship ard retired forever. I retire just the same now, but without having accomplished my ambition. I am sat isfied." After the fight Champion Jeffries was seen In his dressing room. He was jubllent over his success, despite the terrific scars of battle. He said to an Associated Preys correspondent: "Well, I have won, just as 1 expected to. It was a fierce fight the fiercest I ever had but .1 won. Yes I got a good beating, as far as the marks of battle count, but then I rather expected that." A $5,000,000 Bank. Chicago, Spec'al.

The nucleus of the enterprise is already in existence un der the name of the Mexican Trust Company Bank, which has been In ope ration in the City of Mexico for one year. SUCIDE OF DR. GRISSOM Was For Many Years Superintendent North Carolina Insane Asylum. Washington, Specials Dr. Eugene Grlssom, once well-known as an alienist and neurologist, committed suicide here Sunday at his son's home, by sending a ballet through his brain. Dr. Grissom had been dejected and morose for several weeks and had become physically and mentally weakened from the use of strong narcotics. He was a native of Gran ville county, N. C, served on the Con federate side until wounded during the civil war and afterwards was a member of the State Legislature. For 21 years he was superintendent of the North Carolina Insane Asylumn, at Raleigh, and gained a wide reputation as an alienist and lecturer. Before the American Medical Society he deliv ered a lecture entitled "The Border land of Insanity,'' that attracted groat attention. He was the author of "True and False Experts,'' a work devoted to showing the alleged in accuracies of the expert testimony in insanity cases. Dr. Grissom was one time first vice president of the Ameri can Medical Society and several times presiding officer of the Association of American Asylumns. He was the presi dent of the convention of 18S6. He was a Mason of high degree. He was 71 years old. . Eleventh Week of Strike. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Special. The be ginning of the eleventh week of the anthracite miners' strike finds ap parently no change In the situation, aUhough the rumor has been revived that an effort will be made some day this week to start up one of the col lieries. The companies have a suffi cient number of coal and iron police men enlisted now to prevent trouble, should it arise, and all that would be necessary to get a mine in operation would be a sufficient number of min ers and laborers to blast the coal and load it on the cars. No doubt plenty of ordinary laborers could be secured but it is a question whether the re quisite number of miners could be per suaded to go Into the workings. At strike headquarters the belief is as strong as ever that the operators cannot resume and that it Is idle talk to even pu?gest such a thing. President Mitchell simply s'lys that the situation is about the same and that the strikers are as firm as ever. Three hundred delegates, represent ing 10,000 Polish and Lithunian resi dei'H of the WoTnlr.r V(tV.v . rW !

VALUE OF FARMS Tremendous Landed Wealth Shown By Census IT RUNS HIGH INTO BILLIONS Statistics of Great and Permanent Value Concerning Our Agricultural Resources. Washington, Special. The census bureau issued a bulletin giving thu condition of agriculture in the United States for the year 1900. It shows that there were at that time 5,739,657 farms in the entire country which were valued at $16,674,694,247. Of this amount $3,560,198,191, or over 21 per cent, represented the value of buildings, and $13,114,492,056, or over iH yer cent, represents the value of lands and improvements other thaa buildings. The value of farm imple ments and machinery was $761,251, 550, and of live stock $3,078,050,041. These values, added to the value of :he farms, gives a total value of farm property amounting to $20,514,001,. 38. The total value of farm product Tor the year 1899 is given at $4,739, 118,752, of which amount $1,718,990, 221 was for animal products, includ ing live stock, poultry and bee pro lucts. The bulletin places the average size of farms In the United States at 146 acres, and it is stated that 49 per ?ent of the farm land is improved. The :otaI acreage for the entire country was $841,201,540. The number of farms in the United . States has increased in every decada lor the last fifty years, and so rapidly :hat in 1900 there were nearly four times as many farms as In 1850, ami la per cent more than in 1890. Tha )iai acreage 01 tarm land also has increased but up to 18S0 less rapidlyi .hau the laimbcr of farms, thus in-4 volving a steady decrease In thJr ivcrage size of farms.
